Who is commentating Carlton v Gold Coast in the UK? TV channel, live stream and Fox Footy details for AFL Round 20
Match date:
Carlton v Gold Coast in AFL Round 20 will be available in the UK on HBO Max and TNT Sports 4, with the wider international broadcast also carried across Channel 7, Fox platforms and several regional radio and TV services. The match is scheduled for 1:05 pm AEST on Saturday, 25 July 2026, which is the same fixture time listed for the Melbourne venue of Marvel Stadium and is consistent with the UK audience’s live viewing options through HBO Max and TNT Sports 4.[1][4]
For British and global viewers, the key point is that the game is part of the world feed on the major international coverage. That feed is led by Anthony Hudson on commentary, with Jason Dunstall and Brad Johnson as co-commentators and Sarah Jones reporting from the boundary.[1] Hudson is one of the most recognisable voices in Australian rules football broadcasting, while Dunstall and Johnson both bring extensive AFL playing and media experience that regularly shapes the world-feed coverage.
On Fox Footy and Kayo Sports, the presentation is fronted by Sarah Jones, with the Fox panel also featuring Jason Dunstall and Brad Johnson as pundits, plus Jay Clark reporting.[1] Jones has become a leading AFL presenter through her long-running work across Fox Sports and football coverage, while Dunstall is a Hall of Fame great and former Hawthorn champion, and Johnson is a former Western Bulldogs premiership player whose media career has made him a familiar voice to AFL audiences.
There are several radio options for Australian listeners. Triple M will call the game with Brian Taylor and James Brayshaw leading the commentary, supported by Isaac Smith and Kate McCarthy, while SEN carries coverage with Gerard Whateley, Andy Maher and Adam Simpson.[1] Whateley is widely respected for his national sports journalism and AFL calling, Maher is a long-standing broadcaster across Australian sport, and Simpson’s credentials include a premiership-winning coaching career at West Coast.
Local radio coverage is also extensive. 3AW and FiveAA list Tony Leonard, Bruce Eva, Leigh Matthews, Sam Docherty and reporter Jacqui Reed, while 6PR carries Adam Papalia, Mark Readings, Brad Hardie and Luke McPharlin.[1] Matthews remains one of the game’s most influential voices, combining elite coaching and playing pedigree, and Docherty’s presence adds current-player insight to the broadcast.
ABC Sport will also cover the match with Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron, Adam Ramanauskas, Luke Ball and Tim Morgan.[1] That line-up gives listeners another strong commentary option, with Middlemas and Cameron both established AFL voices and Ramanauskas and Ball bringing premiership-era football knowledge.
For those looking purely for access, the simplest UK viewing route is still TNT Sports 4 or HBO Max, with the international broadcast handled through the world feed rather than a separately branded local commentary team.[1] Carlton’s home venue for the match is Marvel Stadium, which remains one of the AFL’s most recognisable indoor grounds and a regular stage for broadcast-heavy Saturday fixtures.[3][4]
If you want a quick reminder of the clubs involved, Carlton are one of the AFL’s traditional heavyweights, while Gold Coast continue to develop as a younger, fast-improving side in a competition that now reaches audiences across Australia, the UK, North America and Asia-Pacific.[1][10]
